Welcome to our, ooh, 64th Healthy Eating thread. We are a bunch of friends who are happy to welcome newbies prepared to join in with our resolve to strive to be healthier, quite possibly slimmer, but certainly filthier than the rest of mumsnet. If you can embrace our mascot with reverence, then you're in!

Away we go...

Evening all!

Happy Birthday JJDad!

Sorry for everyone's crappy day.

Me and DS went for a walk this afternoon. Normally he is very good and holds my hand all the time. But not today. I had to carry him part of the walk near a main road, he was sitting down in the shop, really horrible.
Then we got to the park and he was very happy, swinging, climbing etc. And just as I was gently stopping the little roundabout, he tipped forward and bashed his head on the little rough wooden seat edge opposite, just above his eyebrows, right in the middle. Cue me sitting on the ground cuddling him.

He chilled out with some chocolate buttons, but the little monkey is going to look like a Klingon when it scabs up.

I decided not to let the harrowing afternoon derail my plans, so he had boob before stories tonight and went to bed after with barely a murmur.

Ups and downs, swings and bloody roundabouts.

Right, I'm Yank, I've been stuck in Amsterdam for a week following a week's holiday in the USA, eaten too many dutch sausages and am probably a lot fatter than when I left.

Now what's going on with you lot? All I've gathered for the last few weeks is that shiney is loved up (which is so wonderful and makes me feel all fuzzy).

DreamsInBinary · 21/04/2010 20:33

My DD is two today

I am being utterly ridiculous, but am a little sad that we no longer have a baby in the house.

Good day for a b'day though, eh JuShi

bellavita · 21/04/2010 20:35

Happy Birthday MissDIB!

DreamsInBinary · 21/04/2010 20:36

Whoops - crashed right into your joy there Yank!

What is the first thing you did as you walked in the house? (Reckons cup of tea)

JuJusDad · 21/04/2010 20:38

DeFluff - I'd seriously recommend you look into taking legal action. A decent lawyer will want to skin him alive for both his twattishness and being such a disreputable example of a lawyer.

My lawyer was livid when she found out my ex was getting legal aid (her visa states no recourse to public funds), yet was working cash in hand and had the front not to pay any maintenance. Cue letter to Law Society, shortly followed by letter from her side quoting problems with funding (though that may also be because she's such a nightmare that they no longer want to represent her).

At least check if you can get legal aid, if yes, I'd recommend go for it. The lack of maintenance, general lies and twatty behaviour can't really get much worse. The taking control of the situation and watching him get screwed over would be well worth it.

If he tried to use your PND or OCD against you, he'd be laughed out of court - if it was such a problem, why did he leave you with DC?

JuJusDad · 21/04/2010 20:39

Oh, and thank you all very much for your birthday greetings [big happy face]

Help yourselves to further chocolate cake - blame Shiney for it being Sainsbury's and not M&S...

FiveGoMadInDorset · 21/04/2010 20:40

Welcome back Yank.

Bella, eat the fish and chips, I know one of those dogs aswell, he is amazing.

VT - clearly doen't know a good thing when he sees it.

SaF - well done on reining in the eating, now how much do you like him?

I want to come iceskating

Anyway I lost a 1.5 pounds today which I am pleased with since I am slightly constipated and eating like a mule as I am coming up to AF time. That makes 21.5 pounds and my 3rd silver seven.

JuJusDad · 21/04/2010 20:40

DiB - happy birthday to your DD

Welcome back, Yank!

YanknCock · 21/04/2010 20:41

DIB, the very first thing I did was some business in my very own toilet. You've no idea what a joy that was after so much time and so many different toilets. My toilet and I are mates, we spent a lot of time together when I was pregnant, you see.

The tea will come later. I think we'd almost forgot it existed; we've had some very bad cups of tea in the last few weeks and stopped bothering to make/order any.

DreamsInBinary · 21/04/2010 20:44

Yes, I meant to say that VT's ManFromYesterday is quite, quite deranged.

This is VT, ffs. With the swishy hair.

wastingaway · 21/04/2010 20:44

YANK!!!! Phew! How was Amsterdam?

Happy Birthday little DIB.
DS is nearly 2 and I can't quite believe it. I'm going to have to stop calling him Baby J..

bellavita · 21/04/2010 20:45

Yay for Fanny's weight loss well done. Oh and thanks girls for the go ahead on the fish and chips

lotster · 21/04/2010 20:48

Hello everyone. I don't have a sex towel but I am trying to improve myself of late; cutting down on alcohol, and chocolate (it still seems to be easter every day since), swimming more and straightening my posture as it's giving me blardy awful backache.

Can I er, come in then?

lotster · 21/04/2010 20:49

p.s. do I have to literally, embrace Terry Wogan's Cock??

Lizzylou · 21/04/2010 20:49

YANK!!!!!
So good to see you!
Blimey missus, you have all the luck, eh?

DIB, I was like that (when DS2 was 2 was when I wanted another baby, DH only grasped this 2 years later). There are a few Birthday twins here, isn't your birthday the same as one of my boys, DIB? March the 4th or the 14th?

TrillianAstra · 21/04/2010 20:50

Yay for Yank's return!!! (I too like a familiar toilet - I don't like how American toilets are too full of water, and fill up even more when you flush them - what if they kept filling up?)

Boo to Vinny's man-who-does-not-appreciate-the-swishy-hair.

Happy Birthday to JJD.

TrillianAstra · 21/04/2010 20:51

And I'll join the queue to fondle BoF's lovely soft ears

JuJusDad · 21/04/2010 20:52

lotster - I had to, so you have to too...

Although in all honesty, I was Terry Wogan's stunt crotch that day...

Slugbrains · 21/04/2010 20:53

Five - ex has just booked me a holiday down your way. and I am probably driving ds down for his holiday there with ex. If you like i'll drag you skating in my old stomping ground in the summer. it'll be fun to go back and see if the old lot are still there. I suspect not. But still.

Yank it is truely fab to see you. You have been missed.
